Bombyx mori is an important model insect, and it is also an important domesticated economic animal. DNA methylation plays a very important role in regulating gene expression of bombyx mori. The significance of DNA methylation in bombyx mori is multifaceted, and most DNA methylation is essential for normal development. It plays a very important role in many key processes, including disease development. DNA methylation in different genomic regions may have different effects on gene activity.
Based on the whole genome methylation sequencing technology, the DNA methylation sequencing technology of target genes has gradually developed into an important and indispensable technology, which is very important for the methylation verification of specific regions. Lifeasible provides Target Bisulfite Sequencing (Target-BS) services for bombyx mori to validate methylation of subsequent target genes.
Target-BS, using methylation-specific multiplex PCR primer design software, multiplex amplification of target genes after sulfite conversion or oxidative sulfite conversion, and ultra-high depth (above 1000X) after library construction accurate detection of methylation and/or hydroxymethylation.

Samples were subjected to targeted bisulfite sequencing followed by independent validation of selected sample differentially methylated regions using target gene DNA methylation sequencing. Using the methylation-specific multiplex PCR primer design software, the target gene after sulfite conversion is multiplex amplified, and the ultra-high-depth (above 1000X) methylation detection is carried out after the library is established.
